Ok, I know that this game is going to be a monthly fee, but seriously, for a FPS game, $15 a month is a bit much.
Oh...here's the article from which I came:
http://www.gamers.com/game/388799

Of course, to the hardcore gamers, this isn't much. But imagine this. Star Wars Galaxies (at least $15) + Everquest ($12) + Planetside ($15) + any other non MMORPG game that may come out during the year.

Even if I didn't another game, playing these three games will cost over $40 a month!?!? (Not inclucing the initial costs of the games).

Would I like to play Planetside? Yes. Is it $15 a month better than Tribes 2, Halflife & MOHAA (all for free by the way)...the jury is still out.

The $15/month fee stated in the CGW article is not official.
Quite honestly, I have no idea where they got that number since we here at SOE still have not decided what that monthly fee will be.

It's a good bet it won't be less than $9.95, but I haven't heard anyone here say $15 yet. That doesn't mean it *won't* be $15...but it would suprise me if it was true.
